The hotel no longer serves breakfast even though it shows that as an amenity on hotel.com. Also the room, while clean is getting somewhat tired with a very uncomfortable couch and windows that did not lock even though one opens up to an outside stair/patio area.

We had a wonderful stay at The Hotel Marblehead. The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the location was perfect. While we came to visit Salem, we ended up falling in love with Marblehead. It's a beautiful coastal town with so much charm, and the hotel made a great home base for exploring the area.

Despite some unexpected travel delays getting to and from Massachusetts, our stay at The Hotel Marblehead was one of the highlights of our trip. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable hotel close to Salem while enjoying the beauty of Marblehead.

There was no breakfast which was a total surprise however we were given $7 coupons to go to a muffin shop in town in the historic district to apply towards buying breakfast. That worked out well particularly because we met local people that were lively and gave us a sense of the town.

The worst hotel experience of our lives. We left before our stay was even over. The staff vacates the property promptly at 6:00pm and doesn’t open again until 10:30am the next day. NEVER was this important detail mentioned so we enjoyed a leisurely day driving down from Maine, never dreaming that arriving after 6pm would mean we were completely locked out with nobody to help us and no other place to stay. We arrived at 6:03 and could not get inside. Fortunately another guest encountered us in the parking lot and was kind enough to go inside and retrieve our room key for us. No one was present in the morning for us to check out early and tell about our problem. I even called both the hotel number and emergency after hours number and left messages at both - never heard back from anyone. It shocks me that not a single staff person is in the building or even on call for situations like this. The place is a dump - very run down and poorly restored and poorly maintained. There were holes in the walls from where they moved a towel bar and didn’t bother to fix the plaster. The doors do not close properly and there are plaster “repairs” everywhere that look like they were done by a child. I could go on but you get the idea. Horrible.

Nice stay in beautiful Marblehead.

Pros:
Great location to sites and beach.
As a solo traveler, I felt safe.
Bright, clean rooms and comfortable bed.
Beautiful grounds.
Convenient, free off street parking

Cons:
I must have read old info. No breakfast or bikes on hand.
The brief time I met staff was helpful but then no staff btwn 6pm and 10:30am.
The AC unit was extremely loud. I did not get a good night's rest because it was too humid without AC and too loud with it on even at the lowest settings.

My stay overall was amazing. The King suites are heavenly and going forward I would book again. The first night the front desk girl gave my room away even though I paid for it and had to find out at check in.

Once the first night was over things seemed to run more smoothly. Housekeeping is amazing.

What a beautiful hotel but NO breakfast. Truly a special place. Many films were filmed here. Lots of history and just a stately architectural beauty. The inside and rooms were so clean and cute. Our room #1 was perfect. Had our own little patio area and separate entrance to the house right next to our room. Room was very clean and the bed was sooo comfortable. Large bathroom and excellent running AC. Our stay was so peaceful and we absolutely loved everything about our stay until checkout.

They no longer offer breakfast on site so they told us vouchers were in our room to use at the Muffin Shop. So we checked out at 11 went sightseeing and shopping around the historic downtown and popped into the muffin stop around 1:30 pm. The restaurant wouldn’t accept our vouchers. Said they were expired. They expired at like 11:20 am. I called the hotel and they said that they are valid for 24 hours from the time that they print them off. Which they print them off the day before and put them in your room leaving them valid for only the morning of when you check out. I said why would you get vouchers that expire in the morning of checkout when you don’t even check out until 11 AM? They should be good for 24 hours basically from when you check out. The hotel would do nothing to honor it or make it right. Luckily, the muffin shop was super sweet and still took the amount off our tab. Hotel Marblehead needs to fix this issue.

Generally ok. Hotel seemed low on resources. Check in closes after 6pm and no one on site; it felt deserted. That said, we were welcomed with very a friendly, informed, efficient front of house - coffee tea and water available. Apparently, the hotel has changed hands and has new management - no breakfast available. We complained - we were grateful for a generous refund. That said, photos of the breakfast on hotel website and Expedia reviews of excellent breakfast are irrelevant. We are very grateful for the hotel’s method of resolution. However, otherwise we were offered a $7 per person voucher to buy breakfast at the Muffin Shop which was 2km away. It was just enough for a feta and spinach croissant. For the hotels information - if you are to offer a voucher please consider a value which reflects enough to buy a decent breakfast and coffee (most breakfast items on their menu are $15 or thereabouts). Whilst I acknowledge that the Muffin shop is not an extension of your hotel, the (lack of) warmth of the welcome at the store doesn’t reflect well on the hotels choice of ‘breakfast partner’. Nonetheless - we were very grateful of the hotel’s /Expedia’s resolution and everything otherwise was generally satisfactory. We would recommend window cleaning (which were very dirty) and attention to the window blinds which had to be lowered manually as there were no pulleys attached

They give you a breakfast voucher but you have to drive to the restaurant and then only get $7 off. There’s a keurig in the lobby, but no fresh coffee until 10:00 am. Staff is only on-site from 10-6.

We just got home after spending our honeymoon in Marblehead. The Hotel Marblehead is a great stay for anyone looking for a clean, relaxing, and quaint get away. They worked with us via phone/email to set up after hours check-in. Our rooms were cleaned/made up everyday upon request. There is off street parking and I would highly recommend you take advantage of it. They do give breakfast/meal vouchers each day to a local business called the \"Muffin shop.\" For those traveling, we decided to rent a car to get around Marblehead and we used the commuter train(s) via swampscott and Salem to get into Boston and then used the subway system in Boston as well as walking to get around. Something to note: Marblehead does not have any gas stations so be aware of that. Overall, it was a great stay. We found a few eating places for those that are visiting the area to also check out these include: Maddies Sail Loft, Barnacle, Fresca, and Driftwood. If you also need additional supplies/accessories look into Crosby market and there is a CVS in town as well. Overall, Marblehead is a great town with friendly people. The Hotel Marblehead is a great place to stay and somewhere my wife and I plan to stay again.

At check-in the 50% deposit paid through Expedia was not recognised and we had to prove payment to avoid a double charge.
This is not a hotel. There is no full-time reception or usual hotel amenities. Neither is it a B&B, as there is no breakfast at the property. A voucher for $7 was provided for a cafe needing a 2 mile round trip; the amount just about covered a muffin and a small coffee. It feels more like managed rooms.
The room and communal areas are pleasantly decorated, clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom, however, needed a refurb with peeling paint and damaged vanity unit. The room lacked a mirror and there was insufficient storage for clothes - no drawer unit and only 4 coathangers. There was no in room coffee making facilities or other such amenities you may normally expect.
For the premium price charged we expected something special but this was very poor value for money.

Staff were great. Father from the Marblehead seafront than I thought and from the downtown…Rooms updated, but paint peeling, nice bathrooms, storage for women, can’t open any windows in our room, stuffy old ac units in windows . no usb plug ins. Side tables kinda low for bed. The hotel looks amazing from outside but ac units in windows detract from in and outside. Mayer we just aren’t historic property people. Breakfast had nice fresh mixed fruit cut, yogurt, croissants, store bought muffins and sugary small boxes of cereal. Coffee was pods in the earlier morning and they ran out, Sunday breakfast at 830- kinda late for most travelers- had carafe coffee in pot when breakfast served. I think it’s a charming hotel and we just aren’t those people for that

The hotel was old but well maintained. Breakfast was limited in choice but was fine. We stayed in April, on the 2nd floor and it was quite warm. There was no air conditioner in the room which would have helped to cool the room down. We opened the windows. There is no elevator on premises and if mobility is an issue you will need to book a room on the first floor. It might be a little noisy because 3 of the rooms are near where breakfast is served and where guests may gather in the evening. Only complaint was that there is no early check in available. Check in time is 4:00 PM and they are strict about this. I believe the reason for this is that they have limited staff available and they are only on premises at certain times of the day. The location is convenient if you are visiting family at The Mariner which is an independent/assisted living facility.

It was the worst check in and overall experience I have ever had. They say check in desk is only open until 6 p.m. and they say check in is at 4 p.m. I was in town for a an event that began at 6 p.m. I arrived at the \"hotel\" at 2:45 p.m. There was no cars in the parking lot, I went to the front desk, the hotel was empty. The person said, no hello, just check is not until 4 p.m. I asked can I put my stuff down in my room (I had a clothes bag and two computer bags). She said no, check is not until 4 p.m. The place was vacant, there are a number of rooms in the \"hotel\", there was no reason she couldn't let me drop my bags in my room. She was awful. Now remember, they say that desk service ends at 6 p.m., so they give you 120 minutes to get any service at all, from 4 to 6. I asked again can I leave my stuff, she said you can leave it in the middle of the front desk area. I left my clothes bag but not my valuable computers. When I returned, the clothes bag was just sitting where I left it, there was an envelope in a basket that said my name and room number that anyone could take, it was bizarre. Parking lot was still empty, so noone was there. When I got to my room, the door was wide open, not closed, I thought Norman Bates was waiting for me. The furniture was broken, the bathroom doorknob was half off..Why anyone gives this place a decent rating is a lie and beyond me.

I appreciated the service we received and loved the suite. My suggestion: pay a little bit more for more room, more amenities (microwave, coffee maker, water heater, sink), a pull out couch. It is always nice to have a separate room. And it is quiet. Location is not far from the historical district and near the sanctuary and a view of Marblehead that you would not see elsewhere.

This is my second stay here. The first time was excellent, so I was very happy to be back. The hotel is beautifully redone, and the rooms are very cute and nautical. The jet bathtub is a very nice feature in the bathroom. The problem I had this time was the heat in our room. It would not turn off despite the thermostat being turned to off. It was so hot that we had the window wide open, but this did not help. Considering that check in is a late 4pm, sleeping there is really the bulk of what I'm rating. I tried responding to the hotel's automated text message system that asked how my stay was, but I have not gotten any reply.

The room was spacious and very comfortable. The only staff we met was the manager, who was lovely and very helpful. The breakfast provided was fresh and delicious, with excellent coffee.

It was our second stay here. We appreciate the excellent staff, uniqueness of the property and convenient location. However, this visit our rooms thermostat was malfunctioning and we awoke in a sweat during the night with a room at 78 degrees. Readjusting the temperature had no effect so we resorted to opening the patio door wide at 3 am to cool off the room, turning the heat off completely and starting the air conditioner. We fell back to sleep about an hour later.

Comfy but needed some updates. Bathroom vanity was water damaged. Could use USB/C ports near bed. Window a/c unit was still in window and it was 17 degrees out and wind was entering through the gaps around the unit. But, still a very cute place and complimentary breakfast was lovely!

The staff was pleasant. The room was passable. Understanding that it was a hotel room near Salem near peak Halloween activities, I get that things are more expensive, so that is on us. I don't feel the room was anywhere near worth the cost associated with it.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay very clean & the suite was a nice layout. I was a little taken aback by no elevator as we were on the third floor. My husband had to carry our luggage up the two flights of stairs. Also, we had to use the back entrance as the front wasn’t available which wasn’t terrible but when taking Ubers it would be nice to go right out the front doors especially at night.

Lovely room with a comfortable bed and Roku access to watch TV on a rainy morning prior to our departure for Salem tours. Breakfast healthy options of three kinds of granola, two kinds of yogurt, variety fruit cup and a variety of breads and muffins… coffee tea or water. Plenty of parking and a short drive to a variety of restaurants. Salem is only a 10-15 minute drive away

Front desk staff was unprofessional and not welcoming upon arrival, which we found weird at a bed and breakfast. It's a very old place, as are a lot of the options in the area, so we weren't surprised to find some quirks. However, there was no dead bolt on our door which had a gap in the top of about 1/2inch. Disconcerting to say the least! Other than that, the room was spacious, the bed was comfy and there amenities were well appreciated! The breakfast in the morning was wonderful with fresh cut fruit, yogurt and granola to balance out the heavy fare in Salem.

Staff was decent, the hotel was supposed to do light housekeeping and no housekeeping was provided during the whole trip. I had to make my own bed every day and throw my own trash away also due to the room not having a trash can in the room. Only had a small trash can in the bathroom, the room was also poorly decorated and the fridge was on the floor and not even on a stand.

We arrived early to explore Salem but no one was at the front desk, so we quietly used the lobby restroom to freshen up. We were whispering and careful with our luggage when an employee came out, didn’t greet us, I asked about checking in and said with an attitude, “We’re not even open yet, it’s way too early,” before walking away. Another guest came out complaining and began talking about us with the employee as if we weren’t there, which made us feel unwelcome from the start.

Their check-in window is only 4–6 p.m., and no one is on-site overnight. The only reason we entered that morning was because another guest left the door unlocked, which normally requires a code. When I asked about luggage storage since we’d return after hours, I was told it would be kept behind the desk and placed in our room later, with the key left in an envelope — not secure. When we came back, our luggage was sitting in the lobby with a sticky note and our room number. Luckily, nothing was missing.

The next day, two new employees were much kinder. Later, we were told maintenance needed to fix our toilet, but afterward it worked worse, and with no staff around, we had to use the lobby restroom. The beds were comfortable, breakfast was good, and the location was close to Salem, but the poor hospitality, lack of security, and limited hours made us feel uneasy. If staff were more welcoming and procedures safer, our stay could’ve been much better.

Great location, with off street parking. Old home, refurbished. Easy walk to beach. With high price I would expect it to have warmer atmosphere and be a bit less worn out. Furnishings very low end, plastic chairs. Tiny bathroom sink was a joke, annd not a funny one. and spots throughout need touch up.

Great beds- terrible cleanliness and staff

The staff at the property on Wednesday was so rude! The bottom on my white socks were black because of the floors just in our room, if they were black; when was the last time they truly cleaned the room correctly? They say they do daily refreshing of the room, however there was no door sign and they didn’t even touch the room. The bed was comfortable however the cleanliness completely steers me away.

The house itself was charming, but our room was absolutely terrible. It appeared to be clean, but the carpet had so many stains. The furniture was cheap and plastic, the room was dingy. There was no hairdryer, breakfast was just some sliced up coffee cake. The air-conditioning unit in the window was not sealed properly and cold air was coming in all night. Not to mention road noise all night long. I wouldn’t not recommend this hotel for the price we paid. It was just horrible!
